Eclectic, artsy, earthy, urban and committed to a better future ... that's Sustainable Ballard and the 15th Annual Sustainable Ballard Festival. Join this group of Ballard neighbors on September 22nd at Ballard Commons Park for creativity, passion and community-building while learning about daily practices and big steps toward more sustainable living. This year's theme is "Find Your Path" focusing on the many ways that neighbors are connecting to improve the community.

Please join Meaningful Movies : Sustainable Ballard for a screening of “Sustainable" - a vital investigation of the economic and environmental instability of America’s food system, from the agricultural issues we face — soil loss, water depletion, climate change, pesticide use — to the community of leaders who are determined to fix it. The event will take place at the Royal Drummer Cafe in Ballard.
